When the coordinate frames are assigned to a manipulator, the transformation between each two consecutive frames has to be described. Therefor the 4 Denavit-Hartenberg parameters , , and are used. The figure on the right shows two coordinate frames and and the corresponding common normal represented by a dashed red line. The figure illustrates the Denavit-Hartenberg parameters, that are defined as follows:
- The angle is defined as the angle about the -axis to align with the new -axis.
- is the offset or translation, respectively, along the -axis from the origin of to the intersection with the common normal.
- The parameter corresponds to the length of the common normal which is equivalent to the translation along it.
- If the related joint is a revolute joint, can also be regarded as the radius of the rotation about the -axis
- The angle corresponds to the angle about the common normal to align the -axis with the new -axis
